The Word

To write it down 

or shout it loud

for all to hear 

in every crowd.

for all to read 

to speak or sing

to prompt a thought 

or message bring

In cipher code 

communicate

or pompously 

expostulate.

divinely clear 

yet quite absurd

but first you have to 

know the word.

In the beginning was the word? Cannot have been the beginning then could it?
